Not only have they gotten into his food, but at the end of two months they brazenly parade in front of us!

What is a poor widow to do, folks!

Carol, if you can, put Ziggy's dog food in the fridge. That's an attractant to the mice. If the apartment maintenance aren't working diligently setting traps, get some of your own, they aren't too expensive and bait them with peanut butter. Also, if you can, walk around the outside of your apartment and see if there is any access holes you can see where the mice are coming in. Check with local exterminator companies too. They might be able to help you if the apartment management aren't working quickly on trying to solve this problem.

Finally after moving furniture and one hour mouse is out of bedroom and Ziggy has stopped barking. My car is in for repair and I can’t take Ziggy to a motel. Now he is barking again. Maybe there is another mouse here!

Hi Carol!. I hate mice. We've always lived in the country and they have always gotten in someplace. One thing I know dog food will attract even more of them. We have 3 dogs (dawgs) here so it is a big concern for us. We bought a food container that is just wonderful. It can be difficult for me to get into much less mice or dogs. It might be too big for ziggy I don't know but I highly recommend it. We got ours at walmart. https://www.chewy.com/gamma2-vittles-vault-stackable-pet/dp/101389?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Gamma2&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQiA37HhBRC8ARIsAPWoO0zxhmpZ16jIBKbj108hKhMMReSz-xSoVQ1oLVrz7nvsa9OAX7TGmNQaApH2EALw_wcB Also-- I 100% prefer the wood traps. Decon granules also are very good but you may have to endure the smell of dead mice inside walls or wherever they are. If you have one or two mice you have baby mice someplace. You won't find those but d-con will kill them as well. Those paper traps in my opinion are useuless although Jeff says that they did take the bait in the basement. My problem was my laundry, I've found little holes in a sock or two and a t-shirt. They nibble a little and I'm not sure why? in any case it is an on-going battle. :(

grr, I mentioned this I think on emails. Jeff bought little boxes from D-con they worked extremely well in basement all the bait was gone so they all ate some & died. I did not find any mice taking that bait or peanut butter. I think they may have only wanted nesting material as I found a little of my clothes nibbled on. Maybe they are all gone. I never saw any up in our house. Jeff found droppings in basement before he baited thm.them
